Twenty-seven-year old, Anne Elliot is Austen's most adult heroine.
Eight years before the story begins, Anne is happily engaged to a naval officer, Frederick Wentworth, but she abruptly breaks off the engagement when persuaded by her friend Lady Russell that such a match is unworthy. The breakup produces in Anne a deep and long-lasting regret, especially when Wentworth returns from sea a rich and successful captain. Wentworth finds Anne's family on the brink of financial ruin and his own sister a tenant in Kellynch Hall.
All the tension of the novel revolves around one question: Will Anne and Wentworth be reunited in their love?
